Grok Adds Browser Control as xAI Pushes Toward Practical Agents

A new 'Browser Use' plugin lets Grok Build control a real browser, while Grok 4.6 landed on third-party coding tools — signs of xAI expanding beyond chat into agentic tooling.

xAI's Grok ecosystem quietly expanded on two fronts this week. According to @mikenevermiss, a new 'Browser Use' plugin was added to Grok Build, giving the model the ability to control a real browser. Browser control is one of the most consequential agent capabilities precisely because so much real work — booking, researching, filling forms, navigating dashboards — happens inside a browser rather than through clean APIs.
